Location

In selecting a location for the stove, consider the following points:

1)Heat distribution

2)Vent termination requirements

3)Gas supply line routing

4)Traffic areas, furniture, draperies, etc.

The GF 300 BV may be located on or near conven- tional construction materials, however, proper clearance to combustibles must be maintained in order to provide adequate air circulation around the appliance. Also, it is important to provide adequate access around the stove for servicing and proper operation.

The clearance and hearth specifications listed in this manual are the minimum requirements for combustible material. A combustible material is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also include materials that may be located behind non- combustibles.

If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a material, consult your local fire officials. “Fire Resistant” materials are considered combustible: they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also, “fire-rated” sheet rock is considered combustible.

Hearth Requirements

The GF 300 BV gas stove CANNOT be installed directly on carpeting, vinyl, linoleum or Pergo®.

If this appliance will be installed on any combustible material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor pad must be installed that is either metal or wood, or a listed hearth pad. This floor protection must extend the full width and depth of the appliance. It is not necessary to remove carpeting, vinyl or linoleum from underneath the floor protection. See fig. 1.
